The purpose of the Safety Element is to eliminate and minimize <br />risks associated with natural and human -generated hazards such <br />as floods, earthquakes, and hazardous materials. By assessing <br />and preparing for levels of risk, the city can endure the range of <br />safety hazards and adapt to changes over time. <br />This element works in tandem with other elements of the General <br />Plan, such as the Public Services Element, which has goals and <br />policies related to police, fire, and health services; emergency <br />planning; and resiliency. <br />The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for the City of Santa <br />Ana planning area was developed in accordance with the <br />Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and followed <br />FEMA's 2011 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan guidance. The LHMP <br />incorporates a process where hazards are identified and profiled, <br />the people and facilities at risk are analyzed, and mitigation <br />actions are developed to reduce or eliminate hazard risk. The <br />implementation of these mitigation actions, which include both <br />short and long-term strategies, involve planning, policy changes, <br />programs, projects, and other activities. The most recent LHMP <br />for the City of Santa Ana can be found at the following link: <br />https://www.santa-ana.org/hazard-mitigation-plan/. <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN ^.1 <br />
